Perhaps a welcome break from league football as PAEEK & APOEL face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Cyprus Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
PAEEK form and stats
Last season their Cyprus Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.3 victories, 0 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what PAEEK have to build on here at Makareio Stadio in the 2. Division. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Makareio Stadio.
PAEEK are returning here after visiting ASIL Lysi in a 2. Division game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Previous to that game, a 2. Division home match hosting Digenis Morphou in a game that was won 3-1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Omonia Psevda are coming to town in three days.
PAEEK have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Makareio Stadio with 7 goals in 4 league matches. 4 goals have been conceded.
APOEL form and stats
APOEL's mission in Cyprus Cup last season failed in the 2nd round against Apollon.The story so far for the visiting team on their 1. Division travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
G. Zahid was the last player to score for the away team. APOEL haven't scored a league goal in the last 287 minutes.
APOEL lost away at Anorthosis (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Paphos.
A new game in only three days for APOEL, the 1. Division home match versus Apollon. Busy days.
Goals are few and far between in APOEL's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. As opposed to that, APOEL have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
